Day 4: Black Hawk Games

On Thursday, students wore their class shirts reflecting the theme of spirit week. The freshmen (Finding Nemo) dressed in orange, sophomores (Monsters Inc.) dressed in black, juniors (Toy Story) dressed in blue, and Seniors (The Incredibles) dressed in red. Students were dismissed from their 7th hour to attend the Black Hawk Games in the gym, where each grade competed in a series of events to earn homecoming points for their grade.

“Although I loved dressing up in all of the black, green and blue that I could find, the best part was cheering on my grade during the Annual Black Hawk Games,” said Sophomore Allie Yaker.

At the games, students from each grade competed in a variety of games which tested their athleticism, flexibility, and even rock, paper, scissors abilities.

“It was so [much] fun being a part of the girl’s tug-of-war team,” said senior Lilly Formanek. “I have been doing it since freshman year and it was such a good feeling to win.”
